History

The town was settled in 1853 as a result of the California Gold Rush and subsequent hydraulic mining at Malakoff Diggins. [cite book |title=California Trails Northern Sierra Region |last=Massey |first=P. |coauthors=Wilson, J. & Titus, A. |year=2006 |publisher=Adler Publishing |location= |isbn=1930193238 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=MJHWuvL5WpcC&pg=PA173&lpg=PA173&dq=%22Lake+City%22+%22north+bloomfield%22+-salt&source=web&ots=OWubcwT7Dj&sig=PhyX3No7OiUK_ixKhvp_yyt3SjY&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result |pages=p. 173] Within four years, more than 300 people lived in town.

In 1877, it was included on the route of the world's first long-distance telephone line.

By 1880, the population had dropped to 100. [cite web |url=http://www.cagenweb.com/nevada/nchistory.html |title=Nevada County History |accessdate=2008-09-06 |publisher=cagenweb.com]
